So far great but we don't run it that often as we live out of the country most of the year. I think it was around $1100 with everything (shackles, greasable pins, springs, shocks, etc.). There are lots of places to get it but I got mine from 4x4 connection. Again, no affiliation whatsoever. I don't think you can go wrong with this lift.
One word of caution. I did have to install a drop draglink to get it to work. Went with a Procomp which cost me another $150 or so. Not everyone needs it but I did. I went heavy springs front, medium rear and heavy shocks all around. Maybe with medium front you wouldn't need the drop draglink but my 4Runner is very level with the ARB bumper and Warn winch so I'm happy with the spring combination.

This is my project truck. I have stripped it to do frame work, install a suspension and other necessary stuff. I have no money so we will see how far we get.
You can find more pictures of mine in the build up process HERE.
